If he knew the truthI could lose him anyway

The past seven weeks I’d spent getting to know this etting to be the woht had been absolute heaven

I ay past falling

I’d fallen

Hard

The idea of losing hi

“No” I threw back the covers and snagged one of his T-shirts off his bedroo it on over my head, I dashed out of the room

“Cooper!” I stor him as he was halfway out the door

He looked back at me, his expression cold “Go back to bed”

“No” As soon as I reached him I took hold of his arm and pulled him inside with one hand as I tried to shut the door with the other “Please”

To my relief he caid under my touch

Desperate to soothe him, to melt his resistance to my affections, I slid my arms around his neck and pressed a kiss to his , no ers tightened in his hair the way I knew he liked

“Cooper,” I ly knot in my stomach at his cold distance “Don’t”

“Why not?” he said, his voice gruff “This is what you do to me”

Pain shot across my chest I pulled away, horrified “No” I shook my head

“Yeah” He nodded, his expression like granite “Anytime I try to even mention your family or your past you lock up and lockme that you don’t talk to anyone about this is supposed to make me feel better? I’m not supposed to be just anyone to you Not when you are what you are to me”

I felt the panic tightenfast and shallow “Why do you need to know about that stuff? Why can’t you just have this?” I gestured to ht now You” I pressed his hand to my chest, over my heart “You have more of me than any man has ever had Please just want ht now”

Cooper didn’t move, but I saw the spark of heat in his eyes

That was enough

It could be enough

I took advantage of that heat and stepped back into hiainst his throat, inhaling the musky, earthy scent of him “Cooper,” I whispered

He cuppedover my nipple

“Yes” I kissed his throat again as I trailed ertips up his arms “Coop—”

He crushed hiser and lust in hiripped the back of ainst the door with the other

Despite the volatility I felt in him, I held on for more, because it was emotion and I needed him to feel for me I didn’t ever want hi to hi into his back, as he tugged s My lips parted on a whirowled The sound caused a ripple of arousal in ainst him for more

His kisses grew ry kisses that were alainstinto my waist

When I whispered his naaze A mere second later he’d pulled his T-shirt off of h?” he said, his voice thick as he beganroom “If this is to be it, I want it all”

I didn’t understand what hetable, asped at the suddenness of it, and then athis feet against mine

He bent over ers caressed h on a path toward my sex

I elicited another strangled gasp when he pushed two thick fingers inside of me

“Soaked,” he grunted in my ear, satisfied “At least I have that from you”

He pulled up off ofout of ainstmy hips

He slammed into me

The impact stunned me for a second, only to be replaced with the rush of pleasure as he dragged his cock out of me and then thrust back into me

My upper body slid back and forth on the table, ainst the lacquered wood as Cooper slid in and out in fast, deep drives The sensations ether until I was i me

There was no other word for it

It was rough and hard

Not like our first tiether

That had been an explosion from pent-up sexual frustration

This was frustration

This was Cooper’s frustration

His disappointment

His hurt

His need to have at least so no one else had from me

I felt claimed

I felt needed

And it exhilarated me

I cried out his na

The delicious pressure built and built inside of er be contained My orgasht, and my inner muscles squeezed around Cooper’s dick knew the truthI could lose him anyway
